more PETA exploits

 

The economist just railed them and pointed out that their mercury warning is an out-and-out lie. Omega-3 being better for you than mercury is bad, exposure to fish-based mercury is correlated to increased intelligence.

I love the 'sea kitten' stock photo they chose too.

Except they don't actually cite the study that says this, they just call it "another study". That's a very provocative statement to make without providing any links or info to the actual study. More lazy bs science journalism; come on, if it's worth reporting, give the citation.    .

One of the comments to the Economist article:

I just had a look at www.seakittens.com and to my surprise, the ad at the top of the page is for Omaha Steaks. Real meat steaks. Dripping with blood.

Is this someone's little prank ? Quite clever, really!

Just checked - it's true!  Pretty funny!  Bill, did you do that...?

BTW, just today I was at Safeway & happened to look over at one of those sticker-selling gumball machines & something caught my eye. A sticker in the display said P.E.T.A. Upon closer inspection it read People Eating Tasty Animals!  I gave it a go with 50 cents but got some other lame sticker - wasn't willing to keep dropping quarters for the chance at the right one.

I'm starting to rethink this PETA thing What does it stand for People Enjoying T&A
